What vinyl are you spinning right now??

[kh1958]

Coleman Hawkins--Accent on the Tenor Sax (Urania)

Gerry Mulligan Meets Ben Webster (Verve)

[brownie]

Except mine's the London Atlantic mono

The lonely woman on the Atlantic/London cover was top model Sondra Peterson . Saw her a number of times when she was French jazz radio broadcaster (and director of Jazz Magazine) Daniel Filipacchi's companion. Filipacchi later headed Hachette Publications in France and the USA.

[Royal Oak]

George Shearing Trio and Stephane Grappelli - "The Reunion"

Really nice reading of "The Folks Who Live On The Hill"

[Leeway]

Sun Ra in relatively conventional mode.

And then for something completely different:

Nice album. I picked up a copy myself this summer at a local record show.

The Crusaders - Free As The Wind

[sidewinder]

VSOP 'Tempest In The Colosseum' (CBS Sony, 2LP)

Joe Newman 'Similar Souls' (Vogue Jazz Doubles, 2LP)

[brownie]

The Complete Sidney Bechet 'Volumes 1/2 (1932-1941)' (French RCA Jazz Tribune)

Edited August 7, 2011 by brownie

[Leeway]

The album has an important and valid political point to make, but Carla Bley's endemic campiness and corny adaptation of traditional melodies really get in my way of enjoying the music, much of which is fine. A considerable roster of musicians here too.

[kh1958]

Count Basie--Basie Jazz (Clef)

[Unk]

Monk - Underground

[clifford_thornton]

Zoot, Cohn, Dorham, Mann, etc. - Jazz Committee for Latin American Affairs - (FM, Japanese reissue)

Always wondered who was on the cover. Amazing what one can learn here.

Dave Burrell 'Black Spring' (Marge)

[king ubu]

A Musical Offering by Don Elliott

Got the UK HMV edition yesterday. Pretty nice stuff!

[king ubu]

Another one from yesterday's haul: Laurent De Wilde - Odd and Blue (IDA 1989), with Ira Coleman and Jack DeJohnette. Let's see if those "five spots" from Jazz Hot (sticker on the bottom left, mine has that one but not the "choc" sticker on top) were justified. Beginning is fine, but sound is, well, 80s...

[king ubu]

Count Basie - Standing Ovation (MCA-29005)

[brownie]

Jackie Paris 'The Song is Paris' (Impulse Japan)

[clifford_thornton]

Just picked up a rainbow label of that one this weekend. It's great!

[hard bop head]

Today's line-up =

"Introducing Joe Gordon" 1954 Trip TLP-5535 mono reissue of EmArcy release. One of two dates led by Gordon, excellent early hard bop w/ Charlie Rouse. Only decent sonics from this low-budget reissue.

Wilbur Harden- "Gold Coast" Savoy Jazz reissue, rvg. Originally led by Harden, eventually credited to "Trane to capitalize on his name recognition. Very average date but being rvg, the sonics are excellent.

Curtis Amy & Paul Bryant- "Meetin' Here" Pacific Jazz PJ-26 1961 mono. Under appreciated Amy, Bryant sounds similar to Freddie Roach, very good solo work from valve-trombonist Roy Brewster. Thick vinyl sounds fine.

[Leeway]

Something a little outside my usual orbit these days. I found the discographical info interesting. It's on "Realm Jazz: Savoy Series" and it was put out by Oriole Records Limited, London. Those are new labels to me. Seems like Oriole was around for a fair while. Realm is new to me. BTW, the record is in mono.

[Chuck Nessa]

Realm was a CBS label. Had some other reissues in the label - Rex Stewart, Don Redman, etc.

[clifford_thornton]

Also did the New York Contemporary Five/Bill Dixon split LP as a Savoy reissue.
